I agree with you..they have the money no doubt..and companies definitely wanna add to their portfolio. Yes, adding properties like this is about distribution but you left one key component out...what platforms are they distributing from? They only viable vehicle is streaming and Fox alone doesnt give you the catalog big enough to really make this a winner. Thats the reason why Fox never started a streaming service of their own...there arms too short to box with GODisney. Fox would themselves have to buy someone elses studio and aint nobody selling. I also assume Fox will sell to disney to ensure some of those execs get cushy Disney jobs and hefty stock options.
Disney has everything...They will get Hulu..start their own service..comics, toys, animations they have everything to make this work (No other company has this EXCEPT Warners but obv...they arent selling to WB)

Y'all realize that AT&T bought Direct TV, which would be the same deal that I'm talking about. Verizon buying Fox is no real difference to that deal.

I mean it's simple math really.
Downey, Evans, Hemsworth been at it a decade or close and Avengers 4 is around the corner. The next gen is Black Panther, Spider-Man, Ant Man, Guardians and Dr. Strange.
You gotta have FF, X-Men, etc for 2020 and beyond to make it work.

AT&T has a much much bigger reach nationally then Verizon in other media despite Verizon being a behemoth of a cell company. AT&T has more clout as a media company. Direct tv had limited growth and needed an internet company. Verizon would be on a level playing field buying Dish Network. Not a monster like Fox.
My point is Fox would only deal with a media juggernaut like Universal, WB or Disney. And since Disney already bought Star Wars and they have X-Men etc it's a natural fit.
Think about this. They paid 4 billion for Star Wars and this shyt is gonna be 60 billion.

It violates antitrust for Disney to own Fox Sports and ESPN

I loved the last 2 Wolverine flicks but recast it and show flashbacks of him in WW2 with Captain America.

I don’t think thats the same thing . Disney would be violating fcc guidelines and be brought up on monopoly charges. But the fcc may make a change to that soon anyway the way they have been acting

Antitrust laws are a product of a monopoly. In that way, it seems similiar- but they are also business reasons for Fox why you wouldnt sell to Warner Bros

I think it's a big difference owning fictitious characters vs. forcing all companies to pay your set ad rates and own the rights all content people consume and having the cable providers by the balls.
Owning a raging Hulk is a big difference than owning Fox News and ABC.
If they owned ESPN and Fox Sports they could tell the NBA, NFL etc to eat a dikk here's the price as well as all sponsors.
